Slave

Chained to this wall

My back is whipped, the flesh has become raw

This is your way of giving me what I deserve

Hurting me slowly, keeping my life preserved

Have I done that much to you

Have I caused you all your black and blues

Or is it yourself that you're really afraid of

You can't stand the color of your own tainted blood

But what you do can't cause me pain

Seeing you like this only helps my pride regain

I'm not the slave that's chained to the wall

You're the slave that can't accept your own flaws

If this makes you feel better go right ahead

Because being alone with you makes me wish I were dead
